If you are looking for a versatile electric vehicle that won’t break the bank, think about the 2016 Nissan Leaf SV. After six years of being in production, this popular "green" car has undergone a few key changes to make it stand out in the market.
The SV trim level comes equipped with an 80-kW electric motor that generates 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. Powered by a 30 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf can travel for up to 107 miles on a full charge, which is 27% more than previous versions. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels and a 6.6 kW onboard charger with a quick-charge port for refilling up to 80% of the battery in as little as 30 minutes. Nissan Connect EV telematics remotely monitors this process.
Keyless ignition/entry, cruise control, and a rearview camera simplify driving and backing out. The interior has been improved with a heated steering wheel, cloth upholstery seats, and a six-speaker sound system with an auxiliary audio jack for listening to your favorite playlist. According to Edmunds, the navigation program operates with a 7-inch touchscreen so that you will never be lost.Â
